Broadway SoHo News Part II

We thought we would let you have a glimpse of where you will inevitably be shopping later this year. On the left imagine the CB2 store we mentioned earlier form Crate & Barrel, and right next door we will be looking forward to Muji, the Japanese home furnishing and product company that we will be anticipating as much as we did UNIQLO. Both stores will be sitting on a block of Broadway (451 and 455 respectively) just below Grand Street that can generously be described as charm-free. Expect that to change as the Mega-Scoop continues to draw traffic down Broadway. As for further up the ever more desirable shopping strip, Lush has opened an awfully narrow stall at 529 Broadway just above Spring Street, and Forever 21 is preparing a store right next to a newly glitzed-up Zara. Up in NoHo, we have been tipped that Canal Jeans is not actually closing, and it is the building next door that is available. But if that's the case, then why are they selling off fixtures? Of course, if they are the kind of store that sells old mannequins by putting them in the front window, then maybe it's time for them to move on anyway.
